is important that the reader respects the strategic and philosophical nature of the
document. Lighting planning and design is, by its very nature, a blend of art and
science and is most successful when neither one of these compromises the other.
The observations, recommendations and technical guidelines in this document
are therefore designed to provide a framework for design decisions. Whilst they
are intended to steer the city towards a cogent night time image, they are not
intended to be restrictive or unduly prescriptive and should be used constructively
by those with the necessary lighting experience.

demonstrated by Figure 1.4.2 and 1.4.3. These create a plethora

Final Report
A further small, but significant, example of glare and the associated

reduction in visual comfort relates to the Masjid Putra minaret at the top of
which there appears to be a powerful light source directed to the north
west. The glare created by this unshielded source is a good example of
how only one misdirected light source can detract substantially from the
night time view of a building and its surroundings.
The view, on a hazy night, of the partially completed northern end of the
city from the roadway system at the south end demonstrates the degree
of sky glow that already exists. Inevitably some of this is by reflection but
most of it emanates from inaccurate building and structure lighting and
roadway lighting that directs part of its light above the horizontal plane.
An additional and notable contribution to both the sky glow as well as the
lack of visual legibility relates to the widespread use of globe lights
mounted in many locations including perimeter walls and lake edge
situations.

POLICY 1:
Distinguish the Central Boulevard from all surrounding roads and

streets on the Core Island and most other roads and streets
throughout Putrajaya through the use of a distinct road lighting
character. Limit this policy to situations where the use of differing
colour values of white light are used to distinguish specific areas
e.g. the Chancery area within the Diplomatic Enclave and the
squares that mark the centre of regional residential areas.
Policy Objectives:
Accentuate the special function of the Boulevard as a ceremonial
route and venue for national celebration.
Distinguish the night time experience of this key axial route from that
of other roads.
Use the powerful tool of white light colour differentials to accentuate
key areas outside the Core Island. This is illustrated in Drawing 2.1.1
and Figure 2.1.2.
The Core Island lighting policy reinforces the objective of defining the
Boulevard as one continuous open space that runs from Precinct 1
through Precincts 2 to 4 of the Core Island terminating at the Convention
Centre in Precinct 5. Whilst the Boulevard passes through precincts of
varying character, the lighting character of the road and adjacent
pedestrian zone remains consistent, thereby establishing a sense of unity
at night. Along the secondary axes that are characterised by more
informal activities, an associated lighting quality is created to characterise
particular areas and precincts.
Implementation Guideline:
See Section 3 - Design Guidelines for Individual Elements - Core Island
Lighting Design Approach - Boulevard and Surrounding Buildings.

POLICY 2:
Limit the use of primary and saturated colour for the lighting of Limit the use of primary and saturated
colour for the lighting of public and
public and private buildings and structure throughout Putrajaya. private buildings and structures
throughout Putrajaya.
Any such lighting should only be operated during state and/or
festive occasions.
Policy Objectives:
To avoid the following undesirable visual responses:
1. Intense or saturated colour draws the eye and eclipses other
aspects of what would otherwise be a well-balanced and perhaps
subtle rendering of the building or structure.
2. The use of coloured light overwhelms the natural colour of the
materials used in the architectural expression of the building and
imposes a very different set of visual values from those originated
by the architect.
3. The permanent presence of colour soon tires the eye of the
beholder. The surprise factor wears thin and there is no other
visual trick available to play, especially during festive occasions.
4. The maintenance of colour filters (where these are used to achieve
a fixed saturated colour) adds a further burden to the demands of
lighting maintenance in general. Missing or broken filters become
extremely conspicuous.
Whilst the use of dense colour is not advocated on a permanent basis, it is

recognised that coloured light is a valuable component in creating a sense
of occasion and festivity. Examples of appropriate and inappropriate use
of saturated colours to illuminate building are illustrated in Figure 2.1.3 and
2.1.4.

equipment manufacturers and specialist lighting design consultants. Only
a few of these have formal qualifications in pure lighting. This is
particularly the case in Malaysia where there appears to be no current
(2002) opportunity to gain formal training in lighting. Much of Putrajaya
lighting will therefore be designed and specified by persons who are
qualified professionals in related disciplines such as architecture and
electrical engineering and therefore rely on considerable support from the
lighting manufacturing industry. Currently there is no possibility that
qualified lighting specialists will submit the majority of lighting design for
Putrajaya. Therefore, the development of a Lighting Masterplan
introduces a requirement for Perbadanan Putrajaya (PJC) to include
professional lighting skill and experience within its personnel structure.
Additionally, an absence of professional lighting staff within PJC is likely

to lead to inadequate maintenance of installed lighting with a resulting
deterioration of the night time visual quality.

Policy Objectives:
Develop a nightscape that includes all the lit components necessary to
create a comprehensive and legible presentation of the city, through
the lighting of all appropriate buildings and structures and the assured
operation such lighting.
Enable the variation of the presentation of the nightscape through the
selective lighting of various elements at varying times and occasions.
During the early and current (2002) stages of the development of

Putrajaya, Perbadanan Putrajaya (PJC) and Putrajaya Holdings (PJH)
have managed lighting control on a joint basis. The operational control of
lighting has not been considered as an issue that either PJC or PJH
includes in determining the overall image and presentation of the city at
night. This means that the existing lighting of buildings, bridges,
landscapes and waterside areas is operated on a relatively ad hoc basis
on an installation-by-installation basis.
This, non centralised, control arrangement results in a situation where the

co-ordinated operation of lighting becomes inconvenient and
cumbersome, in that requests have to be made in advance to the various
ministries and their building managers to switch on the lighting at a pre-
agreed time for a pre-agreed period. It also means that it is not possible
to conveniently make co-ordinated changes in the lit presentation of the
city during the course of an evening.

POLICY 9:
In residential areas street lighting columns should be of a height that

is sympathetic to the scale of adjacent buildings but should not,
under any circumstance, be higher than the height of such
buildings.
Policy Objectives:
1. To minimise light trespass to the interior areas of private
residences that bound the street. This is particularly aimed at
ensuring that street lighting does not excessively intrude into the
upper windows of residences which are normally those associated
with bedrooms.
2. To create a sense of domestic residential scale in areas of low rise

dwellings
3. To minimise glare created by street lighting.
It is recognised that the use of lower height columns is commensurate

with tighter centre-to-centre spacing of columns. It is also commensurate
with the use of lower wattage light sources at each column position. The
increase in the number of columns within a given length of street is
justified in relation to achieving the foregoing objectives.
Generally, streets in low-rise residential areas should be lit from 6 - 9

metre columns whilst those in high-rise residential areas can continue to
be lit from 12 metre columns, as is the case throughout the initially
established residential areas.
